🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a delicate romance only to carefully unravel it with the cold threads of a past crime. It explores the weight of suspicion and the fragility of new love against the backdrop of an expiring statute of limitations.

What lingers after the final frame is a quiet melancholy, a reflection on how secrets can both bind and isolate people. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Setsuro Wakamatsu
